A mass execution carried out by the Ustashi at Brode [near Vukovar], early
in 1941. Nazi troops were looking at some of the victims.

The
Nazis, who for a time were posted in Croatia, were so horrified at the
Ustashi atrocities that they set up special commission to investigate them.
The Orthodox Church of Serbia, in fact, appealed directly to the Nazi General
Dukelman to intervene and stop the Ustashi horrors.

The
Germans and the Italians managed to restrain the Ustashi while they were
under their supervision. When the Nazis left Croatia, however, the Ustashi
multiplied their atrocities, unrepremanded by the Government. Since
the later's policy was one of the total elimination of the Orthodox Serbian
population via forcible conversions, expulsion, or straightforward massacre.

Victims were executed in groups
without trial on bridges and then thrown into the river. In May 1941 the
Ustashi beseiged Glina. Having gathered together all the Orthodox males
of over fifteen years of age from Karlovac, Sisak and Petrinja, they drove
them outside the town and killed 600 of them with guns, knives and sledge
hammers.
